The Army-Navy Screen Magazine, Navy Edition #1, 1945. (AKA "The War No. 1")
The Army-Navy Screen Magazine was produced by the U.S. Army Signal Corps Pictorial Service, under the supervision of Col. Frank Capra, who came up with the idea. It was released twice a month and shown to military troops as a 20-minute newsreel.
"By the end of the war, the Army-Navy Screen Magazine reached an enormous weekly audience of 4.2 million. It had become for American soldiers all over the world a communal experience that greatly influenced their perception of the war."
It featured short documentary films, news from back home, and short training films like Dr. Seuss' Private Snafu cartoons. I've uploaded the entire Screen Magazine and also each segment as a separate file (some editions are comprised of 1 long film, though).

It was great to stumble upon this post. Unfortunately, I found this article too late - I already found the answer on another service. I've forgotten the last time I filled out a form on paper. I mostly use PDFfiller to edit. You can easily fill VAR Form 300 here http://pdf.ac/9w7TuQ or www.army.mil
